...Other Woman or all the other women; there are aborted female "suicides" and aborted man-of-honor duels; and there is Mildred Natwick, as the wife, gorgeously spewing bedroom billingsgate and hilariously shifting from an invalid's helplessness to an athlete's violence. But out of the mouth of farce-like cold water from the mouth of a fountain gargoyle-flows a stream of cold wisdom.

In a berserk frenzy, the Japanese bayoneted and shot the fallen, walked alongside the marchers with impaled American heads on their bayonets. On the second afternoon, as the bone-weary, mouth-parched prisoners waited alongside a cold, bubbling stream hoping for their first drink of water, one of the men broke ranks and buried his face in the stream. "A Japanese noncom ran up, unsheathing his sword . . . I heard a quick, ugly swish. Before I could realize what had happened...
